Last week I wrote in this space that Obamacare could be the death of AARP because it would expose to the rank-and-file of the 40 million member seniors group - most of whom oppose Obamacare - how their Washington leaders have been taking them for a ride for many years.
The AARP leadership scoffed at that suggestion, but check out the video of a Dallas AARP meeting in this post by Moe Lane at Red State. The leadership wanted to give the members the usual dog-and-pony show in favor of government-run health care, but the members weren't buying it. So the leaders got up and left. Evidently, you either sit down, shut up and listen to your leaders in AARP, or they abandon you.
If it happened in Dallas, you can be certain that similar scenes are taking place at other AARP meetings all over the country.
The number to call is 1-888-687-2277. Ask for membership.
Tell them how embarrassing they are with the assoications they have. Tell them their fact page is full of errors and they obviously haven’t read the bill and you find it shocking. give them hell!!
Thanks for that info. Storing it for a week day call.
Thank you, AuntB!
I didn’t know about this one!
Rocko...here’s another one that looks very good.
A.F.T.
“About Effing Time”
Try tonight, I think they are still answering.
Just called - did not go to the live person - but heard that if I was calling about the healthcare reform issue I should go to their website and post comments there!!!
They must have received a ton of complaints already. I hope so.
All they need to do is quite AARP.

Let the stupid pre recorded crap play and wait, then it asks what you are calling for-say membership, then you get a live person.

Well; don't think their worried; yet; anyway. As for the 'luck' of them disappearing; it will take more than that; to clear this country of the Lefties tentacles. . .
Not empty - stuff it with all your other junk mail (address labels removed of course). It weighs more,thus it costs them more to have delivered to them.
Excellent idea!
Well, folks over 60 have a price on their hides. They are Obama’s “health care savaings”. AARP has really messed up this time...if the eldery can figure out what’s happening to them.
That is a big IF. Hopefully kids are looking out for the ones not paying attention beyond Obama’s cheerleaders in the snooze.
What is going to happen to the younger generation: Grandma is going to be hurting really badly - suffering - and Obama will refuse her care. They are going to have to pool their money to releive her pain. I know my family would have to do that. We could not sit by and let gran suffer unecessarily. She is not useless to us. I know a lot of families are not like ours.
Linkletter is a great American. It’s about time the geezers caught on to AARP. They’ve always been a socialist group. I won’t have anything to do with them, although I thought about joining just so I could be a mole, I don’t have time for it.
You don’t have to cancel your insurance with the Hartford. Just discontinue your membership in AARP. I did two years ago and still have the Hartford. I’m surprised the individual on the phone at the Hartford didn’t tell you this because it is their policy to continue the insurance unless you cancel it. Once cancelled you must join AARP in order to get the Hartford insurance again. But then you can discontinue membership in AARP.
That AARP rep was rude and obnoxious. She needs to be fired, PERIOD. The way she talked to those folks is a disgrace.
Thanks! I’ll check it out....Gotta get my folks OUT of the AARP!
Thanks!
